Radiologic Evaluation of Exiting Points of Supraorbital Region Neurovascular Bundles in Patients With Migraine

Purpose: To reveal the presence and nature of exiting points of supraorbital region neurovascular structures and determine the distances of those structures to midline with computed tomography images by taking into account gender and sides in patients with migraine. Methods: The study was conducted retrospectively on computed tomography images of 70 migraine and 70 control patients with a mean age of 39.5 ± 13.8 years (range: 18–80). Presence and nature (foramen or notch) of exiting points of neurovascular structures in terms of side and gender in both groups, and the distances of these structures to the midline of the face were evaluated. Results: In migraine and control groups, the most commonly seen structure was single notch. Coexistence of foramen and notch was statistically significant in migraine and female migraine groups than control and female control groups (P
